I'm confused... please check here:
http://www.gw2db.com...oyer-greatsword
Weapon Strength: 995 - 1100 +90 Power +64 Precision +5 Critcal Damage
OK - so far so good. Now, http://www.guildwars...tats-explained/ states that all max level exotic gear is equal to legendaries statwise and:
Exotics at level 80: 2-H Weapon = 179/128/128
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Dawn <- legendary GS from Mystic Forge with the following stats:
+179
Power +128
Precision +9%
Critical Damage I'm not sure who's in the wrong here...?
In the long run I just want to know if (assuming I don't care about the skin) I can safely ignore going for the legendary GS and not gimp my stats by using crafted GS.
I'd be grateful if somone could explain this to me, thanks.
